Tree Growth Tax Law Program
36 M.R.S. §§ 571-584-A · Property Tax Bulletin No. 19
A current-use program that reduces the assessed value of qualifying commercial forest land in exchange for following a forest management and harvest plan (36 M.R.S. §§ 571-584-A).
Minimum size. Parcels must contain at least 10 acres of forest land to qualify.
A licensed forester is required. This is the one form where you can't finish alone: a licensed forester must supply their license number and plan dates, and for some application types must sign their own attestation. On the Forester Section step you can either have us email a forester a link to complete that part, or fill it out yourself right now if you have that information on hand.
A forest management and harvest plan and a land classification map are both required as attachments.
Deadline. April 1. Learn more: Property Tax Bulletin No. 19
